Wrapped Up in Books
Fantasy Affairs Bound in Literature
Lyrics
It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight
Describing a bright scene on the rainbow bridge.
I could see into your window although you're far away
Observing from a distance, peering into the window.
You were racing in a car
A girl is in a car, racing beside a boy.
Beside a boy, you just don't know if he is up for
Uncertainty about whether the boy is receptive to her intentions.
What you have in mind
Questioning if the boy is open to her thoughts or plans.
If he is up for what you have in mind
Reiteration of uncertainty about the boy's willingness.
Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
Anticipating difficult changes but expressing commitment.
But I never want to leave you
Declaring a desire to stay despite upcoming challenges.
We've never had a fight
Highlighting a lack of conflicts in the relationship.
You should never split a pole
Advising against superstition or negative actions (splitting a pole).
You should never split at all
General advice against separation or division.
I wish I had two paths that I could follow
Expressing a wish for alternative choices in life.
I'd write the ending without any sorrow
Desiring a positive ending without sadness.
I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there
Offering a prayer while being present with someone.
I will wrap my hands around you
Expressing physical closeness and support.
I know it will be fine
Confident that everything will be okay.
We've got a fantasy affair
Referencing a shared imaginative or romantic experience.
We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
Choosing not to take risks in the mentioned affair.
Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
Stating that aspirations are found in books.
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
Hinting at hidden desires or attractions through looks.
Summer's hastening on
Noting the hastening of summer and a desire for connection.
I'm trying to get a feeling from the city
Seeking a connection with the city but struggling to feel it.
But I've been unfaithful
Admitting to unfaithfulness, possibly metaphorical.
I've been travelling abroad
Acknowledging travel experiences away from the partner.
We've got a fantasy affair
Reiteration of a shared fantasy, remaining cautious.
We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
Repeating the avoidance of risks in the shared fantasy.
Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
Reaffirming that aspirations are found in books.
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
Reiterating the theme of hidden desires through looks.
